Need help with u-boot & linux for Yocto build!!

[dtvs]

I am using Yocto frame work for building the image.

The board used is Wandboard-quad (version c1).

Used the Yocto- dizzy branch.

Build is successfull.

Is Kernel location path below is correct ?

 fsl-community-bsp/build/tmp/work/wandboard_quad-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-wandboard.

Is U-boot location path below is correct ?

 fsl-community-bsp/build/tmp/work/wandboard_quad-poky-linux-gnueabi/u-boot-fslc.

Thank you for the reply.

I have customized the .dtsi file in the kernel.

I have modified the imx6qdl.dtsi and imx6qdl-wandboard.dtsi file for enabling the UART2 port on the wandboard.

After changing the .dtsi how to proceed ?not able to get the clear idea!!

Actions done:

1)I used the command from build directory .. bitbake core-image-minimal ---> After running the image I didn't see ttymxc1,

(after executing the ls /dev command.)

2)method:--

After executing the below commands how to load the image?Executed from the build directory..

bitbake -c devshell virtual/kernel

make dtbs

bitbake -c deploy -f virtual/kernel

I'm trying to use the UART-2 Ports on Wand Board Quad(Ver C1). I have modified the imx6qdl.dtsi and imx6qdl-wandboard.dtsi file for enabling the UART2 port on the Wandboard-Quad.After executing commands
--> cat /dev/ttymxc1 &
-->echo 1234567890 > /dev/ttymxc1
But I'm not getting the echo response for the command executed.(pin 6 --U2_RXand pin 14-U2_TX are shorted ).

Below Changes done in sourcefile --> imx6qdl.dtsi
--------------------------------------------
pinctrl_uart2_3: uart2grp-3 { /* DTE mode */
            fsl,pins = <
                MX6QDL_PAD_SD4_DAT4__UART2_RX_DATA 0x1b0b1
                MX6QDL_PAD_SD4_DAT5__UART2_RTS_B   0x1b0b1
                MX6QDL_PAD_SD4_DAT6__UART2_CTS_B   0x1b0b1
                MX6QDL_PAD_SD4_DAT7__UART2_TX_DATA 0x1b0b1
            >;
        };

below path location of git where the changes were made (imx6qdl-wandboard.dtsi)
------------------------------------------------------
pinctrl_gpio: commented this two pins.
/*MX6QDL_PAD_EIM_D27__GPIO3_IO27 0x4001b0b0 /* GPIO3_27 EDM pin 258 */
/*MX6QDL_PAD_EIM_D26__GPIO3_IO26 0x4001b0b0 /* GPIO3_26 EDM pin 259 */

added below to support uart2

&uart2 {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_uart2_3>;
status = "okay";
};

After making the above changes i executed the below commands

-->bitbake -c devshell virtual/kernel (From build directory /home/lablinux/fsl-community-bsp/build)

-->make dtbs (from /home/lablinux/fsl-community-bsp/build/tmp/work/wandboard_quad-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-wandboard/3.10.17-r0/git/)

-->bitbake -c deploy -f virtual/kernel (From build directory /home/lablinux/fsl-community-bsp/build).

then executed

-->bitbake core-image-minimal (From build directory /home/lablinux/fsl-community-bsp/build)

After this loaded the core-image-minimal.sdcard on the SD card using the dd command.

I am able to see the ttymxc1 after executing ls /dev.

But after executing below commands

--> cat /dev/ttymxc1 &
-->echo 1234567890 > /dev/ttymxc1

i am not seeing the echoing (Shorting of tx and rx taken care).(Also ran a serial test and observed the TX(14 pin) line on Oscilloscope no signals are appearing).

Used as reference the below link-->Wandboard Discussion Forums • View topic - Enable Second UART (Kernel 3.10 with Device Tree) 

Please let me know above steps followed for dtsi changes are correct.??and why tthe communication is not happening..

Hi harsh,

The above mentioned u-boot and linux paths are correct.
